My computer has been running and starting slower than usual, then one day a "Windows Explorer" error popped up after login screen. I selected the "Don't Send" option and there my computer stays. No Start bar, no desktop icons, nothing but the wallpaper. It responds to ctrl-alt-del but not to the start button on the keyboard. I tried repairing it with by booting the Windows XP Pro disc, after it copied all the setup files (.ini .cfg etc) still the same problem. I also noticed that the Hardware Monitor found a problem with my CPU Temperature, which seems to shoot beyond 75C (up to 80C) and is in red letters. I assume something is seriously wrong.

Any suggestions? All help and comments will be much appreciated.
 
That's what I thought so too at first. But strangely enough, when I swapped in a backed up copy of the Hard Drive, it worked fine, well under 75C. So I formatted, sad day, long day, but at the end of it, I am where I started I guess. Minus the problem of course :)
